You are getting no excuses for Paintsville from me as I think they are the #5 team in the district at least right now. BUT...... if I was you and considering that LC only had a 3 point lead late in the 3rd and only put the game out of reach after the Tigers had foul trouble, I don't think I'd be throwing words out there like HANDS DOWN best team in the district! LC didn't impress me much at all. Maybe they are capable of playing better and the next time I see them they might, but I expected to see a blowout of a young inexperienced Tiger team and to be honest this game was fairly close with the exception of the 5-6 TO's that LC laid for 10-12 points at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th Qtrs.

Well the blowout you were expecting to see happened considering the Dawgs won by 17. That sounds pretty decisive to me! Also LC had control all through the game. Pikeville is better than expected though.
